The Taliban destroyed the two ancient, enormous Buddhas that my father had the pleasure of seeing when he was in Afghanistan for the State Department in the early 50's (before he was RIFfed out by Harold Stassen for being a "leftist with leftist tendencies") Fortunately they haven't dug up to destroy the two lying Buddhas that are buried in the same area.
